Hi, there

' J9 f: g# E* H; }Good news. U of A plan to stop increase tuition for students who are recently in U of A. However, they will increase tuition the current students who will go to U of A next year. Sounds fair. I deeply agree.

( c9 h2 b/ e' J1 S- }1 N% o' g0 Y4 f
Yesterday, the Academic Planning Committee of the General Faculties
Council met to discuss the tuition proposals. I have both good and bad
  ]% }4 y5 v& O3 L& gnews to report from that meeting.

First, the good news. The committee decided to grandfather all current
  L4 O7 U3 t( Q* t1 rundergraduate international students from the increase to the
7 J5 ~, w5 E1 e' A5 Idifferential fee. This means that next year, all current international
students will pay the same tuition as this year, plus whatever base
7 w% i* W$ r; z: ?" o. E# p$ w# ]$ mtuition increase that all students face (the proposal calls for 5.75%).
$ p. |/ R2 z$ v3 k+ I  D  r& M7 nAlso, the administration decided to withdraw their motion to increase
0 `. D5 W4 p4 g- G: Fthe differential for international graduate students.

Now, the bad news. The motion that the committee approved called for an
increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to
. R/ {6 {* I2 \% ~220%. This will mean that all new international undergraduate students
will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
least, all new students will know what the U of A is charging in
tuition before they come and they will not face any large unexpected
increases once they are here.

2 L3 _. u. i" `5 i8 xThe Students' Union will continue to oppose both the increase in the
international differential as well as the base tuition increase. I
. u8 C& E& ?! owould like to say thank you to all of the international students that
have sent me emails, come out to consultations, and opposed this
increase. I couldn't have got the increase grandfathered without your
help. Thank you.
